Win Free Tickets to Chicago Opera Theater!

I love pop culture of the 1960s, '70s and '80s - and that's why my cat is named Mr. Grant.

If you live in Chicago and love opera, you might want to check out Chicago Opera Theater's (COT) second annual YouTube contest, in which they are encouraging people to create videos that answer the question:

"How do YOU make opera less ordinary?"

All you have to do is shoot a short (3 minutes or less) video of your own interpretation of one of the operas of COT's 2010 Spring Festival Season - Moses in Egypt, Jason, and Three Decembers.

Entries are currently being accepted through April 1, and the three videos with the most "Favorite" votes on YouTube when voting ends on April 9 will be declared the winners. They will receive two free subscriptions to COT's 2010 Spring Festival Season, while all runner-up video entries will receive two passes to the final dress rehearsal of their choice.

Click here for further details on COT's contest page - and you can watch their kick-off video below that also explains everything.

P.S. The handsome hunk in the photo is opera singer Nathan Gunn, who will not be appearing at COT - but I just couldn't resist an opportunity to post a pic of the guy, whom you can drool over in the video below of his performance in the 2005 production of An American Tragedy.
